Egyptian pharaohs often had multiple wives, with some historical accounts suggesting they could have several, including both primary and secondary wives. The number varied significantly depending on the period and the individual pharaoh; for example, notable pharaohs like Ramses II reportedly had over 100 wives and concubines. However, the principal wife, often referred to as the Great Royal Wife, held a special status and was typically of royal lineage. In essence, the exact number of wives varied widely among pharaohs.

Who were some qeens of Egypt?

The most famous queens of Egypt were probably the ones that broke the rules. Hatsheptsut was one. She became a pharoah after her husband died. Cleopatra, the last ruler of Egypt, was actually half Roman. Most of the other queens of Egypt ruled alongside their husbands, but usually did not have their husbands all to themselves. Pharaohs often had other women in the palace whenever they desired them. Several other Pharaohs were born from these relationships. You can always search up some of the more famous Pharaohs, and learn about their wives. (sometimes, like with King Tut, their wives were their sisters!)
